Anish Kapoor

I am interested in the void, the moment when something disappears, or is about to disappear, or has just disappeared.

Art is not about making things, it's about making things happen.

The object is not the work. The object is the trigger for the work.

Colour is a kind of light, and light is a kind of space.

I'm interested in the idea of the object as a place of transformation.

The work has to have a certain kind of presence, a certain kind of weight, a certain kind of silence.

I'm trying to make objects that are not objects, that are experiences.

The space between things is as important as the things themselves.

Art is about the unsaid, the unseen, the unthought.

I'm interested in the idea of the sublime, the overwhelming, the terrifying.

The body is a site of memory, a site of experience.

I'm interested in the idea of the 'non-object', something that is there but not there.

The work is a kind of mirror, reflecting something back to the viewer.

I'm interested in the idea of the sacred, the spiritual, the transcendent.

Art is a way of questioning the world, of questioning ourselves.

The material has its own intelligence, its own memory.

I'm interested in the idea of the 'dark matter' of art, the things that are unseen but present.

The work should have a sense of wonder, a sense of awe.

I'm interested in the idea of the 'un-making' of things, the process of dissolution.

Art is a way of touching the intangible.
